A shame lori, i think scots accents sound fantastic!
My parents' local accent is nottingham, which is a horrible mix betwene
yorkshire, bermingham and manchester, and sounds really! horrible.
this is one reason I myself have such queens' english pronunciation, I
trained myself out of my local accent at the age of about 17, ----- that and
going to a university full of slightly upper class people, and of course
doing singing fairly seriously.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi is this a video game you did the voice for? I too hate my accent, I'm
from Scotland uk, but luckily for me my accent isn't broad scotish, I just
sound very shy and sometimes mix up what I'm trying to say and have to get
my tongue out of a tangle <Smile> Don't worry Thom, you should hear what
I sound like at the moment, my throat is sore and am coughing my brains
out!

Hi Thomas,
I know what you mean about your voice. Don't know if you have had chance
to play River Raiders, but I'm not too impressed with my vocal
performance either. I'm 23 years old and I still think I sound much like
a 15 year old. Add to that I'm from the UK, so my voice sounds much out
of sync with the rest of the available audiogames out there simply
because of my broad yorkshire accent. Smiles.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Lori,
Ummm...No, I couldn't really do that. To begin with my actual voice is
terrible. Kind of like a teenager going through puberty where it
cracks and doesn't know if it wants to be high or low. Secondly, and
more importantly, I have muscle/nerve damage to my face so it makes it
very difficult at times to talk and eat, because I don't have full
muscle control over my mouth. As a result I tend to mumble words or
slur them because I'm unable to make my mouth properly form the words.
That's why I don't use my own voice for games etc. I will say its
really frustrating for me to try and talk on the phone, and have a
client, friend, etc ask me to try and repete something because I just
can't say what I want to say too clearly.

in
Mota now, what about the real Tom? Would be interesting to know what
he
sounds like, couldn't you introduce a talking statue with your voice
Tom?
"Speak the correct word and thou shalt pass! Answer wrongly and your
